Night photograph of an outdoor evening satsang on a large open ground. Dozens of seated attendees face a brightly lit stage under a white and red canopy, with floodlights on tall poles. On the stage, a figure in orange robes sits near a decorated backdrop with garlands and a few small lamps. Many spectators sit in plastic chairs, while others stand at the left edge, one wearing a white head covering. A palanquin-style canopy and wooden poles appear at the right edge. The sky is dark and the scene is crowded with attendees.
